Why can "hardship" be a countable noun while "happiness" uncountable?
Why can "hardship" be a countable noun while "happiness" uncountable?
In Chinese (my mother tongue), it's crazy to consider "hardship" as a countable noun.
I have been told that the best way to master a foreign language is (to??I'm not sure if 'to' is needed) know their way of thinking.
So when native English speakers use "hardships" or "a hardship", what is exactly in their mind if compared in Chinese the countable nouns mean only things that you can see with your eyes?
